Houston, TX -- With the 84th Legislative Session recently adjourning Sine Die, State Representative Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) is pleased to announce some of the highlights that will benefit all Texas taxpayers and families. e

We get to choose what kind of cellphone we have; we get to choose where we shop for groceries; and we get to choose our dry cleaner. Choosing a child's education is even more important. To that end, the Educational Tax Credit Scholarship bill (HB 1043/SB 4) would help bring meaningful choice and increase equity in the education marketplace for working-class families.

The Educational Tax Credit Scholarship is simple: It allows Texas businesses to invest in their future workforce by receiving a tax credit from the franchise or insurance premium tax when they contribute to nonprofit organizations that award K-12 scholarships to both public school and private school students. In fact, 40,000 public school students could use this stipend for after-school tutoring or transportation costs associated with public-to-public school transfers. Because the cost of the program is capped, and the scholarship amounts limited, roughly 10,000 students would participate in the private school tax credit component. Most of the benefit would go to public school students through scholarships for educational resources.

Austin, TX -- State Representative Dwayne Bohac (R- Houston) is pleased to announce the names of the students who will be serving as honorary pages during the 84th Legislative Session. The honorary pages will accompany the Texas House pages to interface with Representatives and staff on the House floor and around the Capitol complex. Pages will receive an official badge and photo to keep as a remembrance of their special day.

Texas’ top accountant and several state lawmakers announced their support today for “Small Business Saturday,” a sales-tax-free counterpoint to the Black Friday sales spree that follows Thanksgiving.

According to the proposal, shoppers on that Saturday would pay no state sales tax at Texas-based businesses that bring in less than $5 million annually. State Comptroller Glenn Hegar and Republican representatives Angie Chen Button and Dwayne Bohac said the idea is to encourage shoppers to spread the love.

State Representative Dwayne Bohac (Houston) has announced the authorship of two bills that significantly strengthen border security and help law enforcement crackdown on border-related crime.

HB 11, the “Stronger Border, Safer Texas Act,” is an omnibus bill that will dramatically increase the number of Department of Public Safety (DPS) Troopers in the border region, impose tougher penalties on smugglers, and provide more resources for police statewide.

HB 1450 will establish the Texas Border Security Division which will focus on busting up criminal cartels throughout the southern border region.

Why do some students thrive in the classroom while others do not? We have all read countless theories about academic success. Many of them are validly linked to instructor quality, student demographics, facilities, technology and class size, among others.

Austin, TX — State Representative Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) has filed HB 1314 that will phase out Texas’ Franchise Tax (also called the Margin Tax) over the next 10 years and provide significant tax relief for Texas business owners.

Today, State Representative Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) and State Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) held a press conference to discuss HB 1087 and SB 426 that will expand the state's annual sales tax holiday weekend. Specifically, the bills will increase the purchase limit amount on clothing, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies eligible for sales tax exemption from $100 to $200 while adding certain electronic devices, such as computers, tablets and e-readers, to the list of school supply items that are tax-free during the sales tax holiday.

“It is vital to Harris County that our legislators understand our needs and have the talent and tenacity to address those needs. Representative Dwayne Bohac understands and gets results. I turn to him often during legislative sessions.”
